Press, volunteers and locals greet an inflatable boat carrying Syrian refugees as it arrives on the northern shore of the island of Lesbos in the evening. There is hardly any organised help for the refugees in Lesbos. Volunteers from the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway are among the people who provide water, dry clothes and assistance for the newly arrived refugees. Around 2.000 refugees arrive on Lesbos island on most days.
